Alfa Romeo Giulietta: books - history and technology

Alfa Romeo Giulietta - The full history of the Giulietta model range

One of the most prestigious Italian cars is the Alfa Romeo Giulietta. The first in the series appeared at a special preview in Valentino Park, Turin, during the spring of 1954, before being officially unveiled at the city's motor show that same year.

Angelo Tito Anselmi, one of the sector's authoritative historians, devoted a book to the car that contained a wealth of photographs, designs and manufacturer's official documents, a work that was completed with a list of all the Giulietta's victories between 1955 and 1965, as well as the chassis numbers of each series. This book comprises fundamental reference material, which is indispensable to all Alfa enthusiasts.

Alfa Romeo TZ-TZ2 : Born to Win

Having left motor racing in the early 1950s - at least officially - Alfa Romeo returned to the sport once again at the start of the following decade due to the commitment and enthusiasm of Autodelta.
This Alfa offshoot distinguished itself by preparing and racing about 30 of the manufacturer's different cars that really did make history. Among them, the Giulia TZ holds a place at the head of the crowd.

It had a 1.5-litre, 113 hp engine from the Giulia SS, front and rear suspension of modern conception, disc brakes and an especially bold body shaped by Zagato on a modern tubular chassis.
Those were the strong points of this car, which scored results of absolute prestige in its brief career at Sebring, in the Targa Florio, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Tour de France.

Vito Witting da Prato, already the author of a meticulously written book on the Alfa Romeo SZ, covers the winning, human, technical and sporting factors of this unforgettable car in a monumental work.
A book which, to the precise text and painstaking historical reconstruction, has been added illustrations of previously unpublished pictures and technical designs by Autodelta, plus all the results of the "Tubular Zagato" from 1963 to 1968.

Alfa Romeo Giulietta - The Story 1977-1985

Introduced in 1977 to replace the much-loved Giulia, the "Nuova Giulietta" stole the hearts of many, yet no title had ever been fully dedicated to this successful Alfa model.
Automotive Designer and historian Matteo Licata first tackled the issue in 2018, and now this improved and expanded second edition will certainly satisfy even the most ardent "Alfisti": the book is based on a rigorous research through period documents and first-hand accounts of former Alfa Romeo employees.
